Claiming the Child-Care Tax Credit
You may be able to take advantage of this tax break even if you contribute to and use money from a dependent-care flexible-spending account.
I used my dependent-care flexible-spending account at work to pay for my two daughters' daycare expenses in 2011. But I still had way more expenses beyond what I had in my FSA. Can I take the child-care tax credit for any of the extra expenses?
Yes. Because you have two kids and had more than $5,000 in child-care costs, you can claim a portion of the tax credit even though you have already used pretax money from your FSA for their care.
Here's how the two tax breaks play out: With a dependent-care flexible-spending account, you can set aside up to $5,000 in pretax money to pay for care for your children under age 13 while you work. With the child-care tax credit, you can claim up to $3,000 of expenses for one child under 13 and up to $6,000 for two or more kids. You can't use the same expenses to get both tax breaks. It's usually more valuable to use the FSA for child care than it is to take the tax credit because money in the FSA escapes Social Security and Medicare taxes as well as income tax (see FSA or Child-Care Credit? for details). Also see IRS Publication 503 Child and Dependent Care Expenses,
If you pay for care for two or more kids under age 13, you can max out your FSA and still claim the tax credit for up to an extra $1,000 in expenses, which would cut your tax bill by at least $200. If you have just one child and you've maxed out your FSA, you aren't eligible for the credit because the limit is $3,000 in total expenses; you can't use any excess expenses toward the credit.
Families who earn less than $15,000 can claim a tax credit for 35% of their child-care expenses; families who earn more than $43,000 get the smallest credit, worth 20% of their eligible expenses. This is a tax credit, not a deduction, so it lowers your tax bill dollar for dollar.
Expenses that qualify for both the spending account and the credit include the cost of daycare, a nanny or babysitter, preschool, before-school or after-school care, and even the cost of summer day camp for children under age 13, if you spend the money on care so you can work or look for work. If you're married, both you and your spouse must have a job (or be looking for work) or be a full-time student to qualify. To claim the credit, file Form 2441 with your federal tax return. For more information about the child-care credit, see FAQs on the Child-Care Tax Credit.

Be assured that your daughter is paying attention. And don't be shocked if she meets your expectation. You might want to worry less about terrorizing or retro-fitting prospective suitors and worry more about preparing your daughter to choose wisely. And that means building a wall. Instead of intimidating all your daughter's potential suitors, raise a daughter who intimidates them just fine on her own.

my name is dominique and I was 22 years of age. I have pcos and my brother just a huge fight basically saying he's giving up on me and my whole world just crashed. the last year I have been through 7 surgeries, got back op and 6 seizures and because I eat too much would I do and have put on a lot of weight he's given up on me. he was my hero and best friend. I won't even be able to look him in the eye. what should I do· 3 replies
Hey you have some medical conditions so maybe try seeing a nutritionist familiar with your diagnosis to help. As for brothers they can be moody. Maybe he will come around when you get back on the grind. I am sorry to hear about all your surgeries that sounds really rough and like it would take an emotional toll so maybe see a counselor to help you to feel better as well. I love your pictures very pretty. Hang in there!
I wasn't able to see your entire post but I hope the use of the word 'was' wasn't what you meant. I'm sorry for the issues you are going through and hope they improve very soon. As stated above- brothers (and sisters) on occasion let their mood/temper/state of mind overload their mouth. A good therapist can be a life saver. Please continue to have faith in yourself despite the words or actions of others. Keep working toward your goals. You can achieve them.
Tell him you are sorry and that you appreciate his efforts. The tell him how you feel, and tell him about your feelings and struggles that has lead you here. Tell him you want to change. And you don't want to loose him. Sometimes one just gotta be the one who says sorry, even though one might not feel it is ones own fault.
I think I overachieved today. Decided to enjoy the good weather and go drive out to a site I did a lot of camping and hiking at years and years ago. Planned on a simple little short trek around the old stomping grounds. Cut to 2 hours, 4 miles, and 950 calories later and I think my little trek turned into a slightly bigger one. Ranged all over the old trails and got to reminisce. Was a good distraction from dealing with unpleasantness.· 1 reply

A Genius from Four Countries
Birth Certificate: The Story of Danilo Kiš
The Attic
Psalm 44
Garden, Ashes
Early Sorrows
A Tomb for Boris Davidovich
The Encyclopedia of the Dead
The Lute and the Scars
Birth Certificate is the first biography in English of Danilo Kiš, the highly respected Serbian novelist and short-story writer who died of cancer in Paris in 1989 at the age of fifty-four, just as his books were beginning to be widely translated and admired. In our day, when foreign literature is taught less and less in colleges and universities and once-familiar names are no longer recognized by students and even by some of their professors, the determination of publishers like Dalkey Archive, Northwestern University Press, and several others in the United States to continue to publish writers from what many tend to regard as cultural backwoods is a heroic undertaking. Thanks to them, almost everything Kiš wrote has been translated and is now in print, and his work continues to elicit interest among serious readers of contemporary literature, as the publication of Mark Thompson's book demonstrates.
Kiš called himself an "ethnographic rarity." He was born in 1935 in Subotica, a prosperous, polyglot town on the border of Hungary, in what was then Yugoslavia and is now Serbia, in a family of mixed origin. His father, Eduard Kiš, was a Hungarian Jew who after failing in business found a job in the Yugoslav Ministry of Railways, where he eventually reached the rank of chief inspector and prepared the official Yugoslav timetable for rail, bus, ship, and plane travel, an accomplishment of which his son was immensely proud. His mother, Milica Dragićević, was a Montenegrin of Orthodox Christian faith who met her future husband while paying a visit to her sister, who was employed by the same railroad ministry. The couple had another child, a daughter three years older. That made their children Yugoslav citizens of Jewish, Hungarian, Serbian, and Montenegrin background.
"If not for the hardships of a wartime childhood," Kiš once told an interviewer, "I'd never have become a writer." In 1939 his family moved to Novi Sad, a larger city one hundred kilometers south, which, after the Axis occupation and partition of Yugoslavia in 1941, was occupied by Hungary and from which they had to flee a year later following the massacre of some three thousand to four thousand Serbs, Jews, and Gypsies by the Hungarian troops. Kiš's father had no choice but to seek safety with his sister's family in a small village in western Hungary, where for the next three years they were not bothered. All that changed in 1944 when the Hungarian leader, Admiral Horthy, was forced to resign by the Germans after his announcement that he would withdraw from the Axis and surrender to the Allies. Soon after, on the orders of Adolf Eichmann, some 430,000 Hungarian Jews were rounded up, sent to Auschwitz, and gassed. Among them were Eduard Kiš and his Hungarian relatives, while his wife and children survived.

New Nat Geo series goes inside pararescuers' daring man-down missions
Baby-faced Air Force rescue workers, some on their first deployment, admit the stress gets to them.
"You're gonna see some stuff ...."
Ineloquently but understandably, they prepare themselves and the viewer for what is to come.
The elite pararescuemen, called "PJs," zoom into war zones to rescue the critically wounded within the "golden hour," the first critical hour after injury, and whisk them to the nearest hospital.
The U.S. Air Force allowed National Geographic Channel to embed with the medically trained airmen for a four-month stint in Kandahar,Afghanistan. The stats: "Four months, 40 cameras, 130 missions, 108 lives saved."
The result is a six-part series, "Inside Combat Rescue," premiering locally at 8 p.m. Monday on National Geographic Channel.
Part infomercial for the Air Force, part heart-pounding docu-reality show, the episodes build on the tension of the situation and the emotion of the individuals involved.
The narrative opens with men of the 38th Rescue Squadron at Moody Air Force Base in Georgia saying goodbye to pregnant wives, fathers and other family members, and it follows them to Afghanistan. The pacing gives viewers an idea of the hurry-up-and-wait lives of the airmen, reading, goofing around and playing with a remote-controlled helicopter in their barracks until the next urgent call.
The ridiculously confined space inside the chopper, the impossibly risky medical procedure necessary to save a life, the crazy time crunch and the likelihood that at some point they will draw enemy fire combine to make the mission, and the documentary, suspenseful.
There's plenty of blood. The critical injuries, amputations and pain of those in need of rescue are obvious (viewer discretion is advised), and the danger on the ground from enemy fire and improvised explosive devices is apparent.
Cameras mounted on helmets, inside and outside the Pave Hawk helicopters, and real-time pacing of the footage give viewers an unusually close look at the mayhem and heroics.
Patients' faces are blurred, suspenseful music and voice-over narration accentuates the real-life drama. Meanwhile, back at base, the kids remark on their colleagues' "Star Wars"-themed bed linens.
On their first run, the PJs must start treating a critically injured soldier in flight. "Eager to ease his pain, Barry reaches for the sedative ketamine," the narration intones. (He forgets that the blood sweep always comes first.) The soldier has a gunshot wound, oxygen is dangerously low, lungs collapsed.
"Still 15 minutes from the hospital, the soldier is suffocating and it's up to the rookie to save him. Barry has to insert a needle to relieve pressure on the lungs. If Barry misses the mark, he risks piercing an artery which could be fatal. Barry can't get the needle in ... Matt (the team leader) tries from another angle."
It's dangerous, but the deployment so far "has been a blast," Barry says later, in a moment that may reveal his inexperience more than he intended.
All are trained to sacrifice themselves for others. Their motto: "That others may live."
If you admired the award-winning documentary "Restrepo," also distributed by National Geographic Channel, and if you don't mind the unabashed emphasis on the heroism, bravery and selflessness of "these guardian angels," then "Inside Combat Rescue" is a worthy supplement.

The market is about to crash! Now that I have your attention, I can tell you why you should ignore alarmist headlines (and statements) like that one.
It's not that crashes and downturns have been rescinded by a five-year bull market, it's that what should matter the most to a long-term investor is the economy over the market, and the long-term trend instead of what's happening now.
It's hard not to be interested in the market calls of experts, but it's not necessarily profitable, especially when the projections are more extreme.
And yet average investors can't help themselves from looking at anything that screams coming doom or that forecasts Armageddon, or that predicts a coming scenario where it's possible to get rich quick.
It's a bit like rubber-necking at a car accident, a situation where most people will tell you that they don't want to slow down and look, but yet that's exactly what they do as they pull up on the scene.
It's what explains why MarketWatch has had popular pieces recently like Thursday's "Is this the correction or a coming crash?" or "Stop trading! Now, before 2014 turns into 1929" or "New doomsday poll: 99.9% risk of 2014 crash." It's why books like "The Demographic Cliff" — the latest from noted gloom-and-doomer Harry Dent — hit the best-seller lists.
Average investors don't "follow" gurus, soothsayers, clairvoyants and stock jockeys. They set up a portfolio and stick to the path — for at least the bulk of their assets — no matter what is happening on Wall Street or with the economy.
When those headlines, statements and sound bites catch their attention, however, they watch and listen, and wonder "What if?"
Richard Peterson of MarketPsych Data noted that investors are attracted to gloom-and-doom — like rubber-necking type — by instinct. "We want to learn from others' misfortunes so we don't have them happen to us," he said.
Further, he noted, "People are hard-wired to pay attention to potential losses and investigate them more than they are for potential gains. We want to prepare for them to protect ourselves."
The fortune-tellers, meanwhile, not only recognize those human instincts, but they know that the more outrageous the prediction, the more attention they get. They can highlight any forecasts they get right, knowing that their misfires are forgotten quickly.
Thus, calamity and catastrophe sells.
Right now, it's a bull market for bearish forecasts.
The investor who falls for that stuff, however, can do permanent damage to their portfolio.
Part of the problem is that long-term investors are taking their eyes off the prize when they focus on the market rather than the economy.
As Benjamin Graham, the father of value investing, noted, the stock market in the short run is like a voting machine, registering which companies are popular or not popular; over the long haul, however, it's a weighing machine, taking the full measure and assessment of the company in the form of its stock price.
"Long-term investors should think about the economy and the prospects of U.S. and foreign companies they invest in. They should not focus on the market," said behavioral finance expert Terrance Odean, a professor at the Haas School of Business at the University of California-Berkeley. "In the long run, what matters if whether the economy prospers and firms earn profits.
"Yes, there are times when companies can be bought at higher or lower prices relative to earnings, but timing the market is difficult and most individuals get it wrong. Rather than asking themselves 'Is this the right moment to buy stocks,' investors should ask themselves if they are willing to invest long term in the U.S. or world economy, and maybe consider that there are few other long-term alternatives."
None of this is to suggest that investors should ignore the possibility that the market is due for a correction or a crash. For a long-term investor, trouble is unavoidable.
Disaster preparation, however, comes in the planning stages, rather than in knee-jerk reactions.
For investors looking for a sign about whether the market is ready to turn, consider all of the scary headlines a positive as, empirically speaking, few people are calling for Armageddon when the market is nearing a top. Yet respecting that same kind of empirical evidence would suggest that at times when there are a lot of gloomy predictions, there's already a downturn or crisis in progress or there is one to come, just much more slowly than expected.
Since it's hard to suggest there's a downturn or crisis in place now – even with a market that has been volatile but flat year-to-date, it will be awhile before the buzz of last year's 30 percent gains fades – you can rest assured that trouble has not been repealed and that tough times are coming, even if it is later rather than sooner.
The interesting thing compounding the current situation — and the fascination with the calls for a market collapse — is that there are plenty of experts who feel the bull will keep on running for several more years. Arguing experts — instead of having most prognosticators agree — increases investors' anxiety.
"All the street investor can see is disagreement among what appear to be experts, and expert uncertainty and disagreement is one of the key factors by which people perceive or gauge risk," said Donald MacGregor of MacGregor-Bates, a consumer/investor research firm.
"The pathway forward is to have a personal financial strategy that creates diversification, and a time horizon for investment that is concrete and to which one will hold," he added, though he noted that anyone who believes the financial fundamentals of the U.S. and world economies are so "out of whack" that there is real value in the rantings of the doomsayers "probably should move to rural Oregon and stock up the root cellar."
For everyone else, however, the course of action despite the titillating headlines is simple: "Become a discriminating and educated investor and stay away from toxic talk," MacGregor said. "It can be hazardous to your financial health."

(Poem #153) Abou Ben Adhem
Abou Ben Adhem (may his tribe increase!) Awoke one night from a deep dream of peace, And saw, within the moonlight in his room, Making it rich, and like a lily in bloom, An Angel writing in a book of gold: Exceeding peace had made Ben Adhem bold, And to the Presence in the room he said, "What writest thou?" The Vision raised its head, And with a look made of all sweet accord Answered, "The names of those who love the Lord." "And is mine one?" said Abou. "Nay, not so," Replied the Angel. Abou spoke more low, But cheerily still; and said, "I pray thee, then, Write me as one who loves his fellow men." The Angel wrote, and vanished. The next night It came again with a great wakening light, And showed the names whom love of God had blessed, And, lo! Ben Adhem's name led all the rest!
There's really nothing this poem needs said about it. It is - and I mean this is a strictly positive sense - a simple poem; Hunt takes a straightforward story and renders it in enjoyable verse, uncomplicated by hidden meanings or stylistic tricks. It's also an extremely well known poem - the latter due at least in part to its being inflicted upon countless generations of schoolchildren[1]. Wodehouse devotees will doubtless recognise the poem as being well-loved by Jeeves. [1] The young Isaac Asimov once got himself into trouble for, when asked why Ben Adhem's name led all the rest, waving his hand wildly and answering 'alphabetical order', a spirited but unappreciated stand against the belabouring of the obvious. Biography etc: See poem #103

I woke up this morning to find ominous skies to the west. The radar was showing storms passing through Topeka headed roughly toward Kansas City. I figured if I got my act together and hit the road a bit early, I should be okay.
As you might imagine, I was wrong. The intersection of Merriam Lane and Johnson Drive marks the last place I can catch a Johnson County bus without deviating from my usual workbound route. With lightning growing ever closer (some strikes were within 3/4 mile), I decided to stop here and check the bus schedule (which I keep stored in my phone's photos). I was about 5 minutes ahead of the Dreaded bus. I threw the raincovers on the panniers and waited.
With my wife gone this week, I'm getting pretty bored. After the Monday night ride, I finished working on a Lego bicycle I'd started the night before. The end result is a full-suspension fixed-gear mountain bike with a kickstand.
The "chainring" is actually on the inside of the frame. Not terribly realistic.
The rear "cogs" - The rubber "chain" has enough stretch that I can use either of these two "gears"
The fully functional rear suspension actually works quite well. It borrows from the suspension design used in some of the Lego RoboRider kits. I wish I could say I was clever enough to have engineered it myself.
It uses a worm gear inside the housing. The housing has lots of slack for the worm gear to move back and forth. A rod is placed through the housing, the worm gear, and another bracket. The bracket is then held with a rubber band to supply tension. Finally, a round gear meshes with the worm and the rear stay assembly is mounted to the gear. When pressure is applied, the stays rotate the gear, which pushes the worm gear forward, and it springs back thanks to the rubber band.
The front "suspension" is just for looks and does not actually work. It's just some LEGO tubing threaded over a bar that's been beefed up by wide pulleys.
A kickstand on the back looks pretty ridiculous, but this baby won't stand up in my cubicle at work all by itself, so it stays.
Bike inverted with me "pedaling"
Another angle of the finished product.
This evening, I've got some serious running around to do. I'll probably do it by bus and bike. Should be fun.

The devil in the detail
Henry Keogh was given a life sentence for murdering his fiancée in an Adelaide bath in 1994. But what if a key expert got it wrong, and she simply drowned? By Christine Jackman.
On fraught days, the days when she feels sad or angry or overwhelmed, Alexis Keogh draws trees. Oaks and elms, eucalypts and birches. Trees lining the boulevards beneath the Eiffel Tower and shading the paths of Central Park. The sketches are exquisite, each knot and twig and root depicted in minute, inky detail.
"People ask me how long they take, but I don't time myself," she says. "I love art because it teaches me to be patient. When I'm in the zone, I don't have to think about what I'm doing, so I can think about other things and be calm while I'm doing that."
So many things to think about, so hard to stay calm. "How can anyone believe the man who tucked me into bed and taught me to tie my laces is a 'cold-blooded killer'?" "Why didn't anyone ask me whether this could be so before they took him away?" "How long can you be a daughter without a father?" "How long can hope survive without justice?" All of these things writhe and unfurl in her mind as her pen floats across the page, creating peaceful, perfect worlds elsewhere.
One element is missing, however, from all of Alexis Keogh's trees. Their branches are all bare. Customers order the artworks for special events - weddings, anniversaries and christenings, mainly - and their guests do the rest, pressing their thumbs into coloured ink pads and then onto the branches as leaves. The thumbprints complete the work, combining in big clusters of familial foliage.
But Alexis doesn't mind that other families, sharing happy occasions elsewhere, add the colour. "I love the stripped-back nature of black and white," she says. "Sometimes I think colour detracts from the detail."
"In the areas of intellect, wit, confidence, verve, engageability, no-nonsense approach to life and of course assertiveness, she had quality in spades. She was outgoing, adventurous and challenging. The banter was a cornerstone: rapid and spontaneous, incisive but never mean. And, she was easy on the eye. Stunning, in fact." - Henry Keogh describing Anna-Jane Cheney in a letter sent from prison to a friend, January, 2009.
Chatting over their chardonnay, Henry Keogh and Anna-Jane Cheney must have seemed like the perfect couple to other patrons meeting for an end-of-week drink at Adelaide's Norwood Hotel on Friday, March 18, 1994. The 38-year-old financier and the vivacious young solicitor had plenty to discuss. They were five weeks away from their wedding day; two days before, Cheney had celebrated her 29th birthday and attended the final fitting of her wedding gown.
Interviewed later, staff remembered a "well-dressed" man who was polite when they mixed up the pair's drinks order. The couple enjoyed several glasses of wine - Keogh would later recall he had three, while Cheney had four or possibly five - and shared a bowl of potato wedges before heading off before 7pm.
Around 7.30pm, Cheney arrived at the home of her best friend, sister-in-law Susan Cheney, to walk their dogs together. Anna-Jane did not appear to Susan to be intoxicated (although tests later returned a blood alcohol reading at .08) and she seemed happy enough when the pair parted at about 8pm, having made arrangements to meet again on Sunday.
But two hours later, staff at St John's Ambulance took a 000 call from a distressed man reporting he had just pulled his fiancée unconscious from the bath. That man was Henry Keogh, and although two ambulance officers arrived at the couple's home in Adelaide's east within five minutes of his call, there was nothing they could do for Anna-Jane Cheney. Her airway was so badly blocked they could not effectively administer CPR, nor could they find a heartbeat.
At least 10 police officers were quickly on the scene, photographing and taking notes about the body, as well as the state of the bathroom, bedroom and surrounds. They interviewed Keogh, who told them Cheney had seemed fine when he left to visit his mother Eileen in a nearby suburb at about 8.15pm, but was slumped lifeless in the bath when he returned about an hour later. Police also spoke to Anna-Jane's parents, Kevin and Joanne Cheney, who had sped to the home after receiving an anguished call from Keogh.
By the time Cheney's body was taken from the home shortly before midnight, the consensus among those investigating seemed to be that her death had been an unfortunate accident. Summing up the call-out later at nearby Holden Hill CIB, one officer noted in the station's journal, "No suspicious circs, appears drank bottle of wine during evg at hotel, gone home, sat in bath, fallen asleep, drowned. No signs of struggle etc on body at all."
Within a matter of days, that opinion would be dramatically reversed.
In subsequent police interviews, members of the Cheney family raised concerns that Anna-Jane had a substantial life insurance policy - with Keogh named as the sole beneficiary. They also made it clear they did not trust him and suspected that he might be involved with other women.
Keogh would eventually hand over not one but five separate life insurance policies for Cheney and even admit he had signed the policies in her name. By way of explanation, he said he had begun working as an insurance agent for the five companies because he feared he might be laid off from his full time position at the State Bank. (He eventually left the bank to join a local stockbroking firm six weeks before Cheney's death.)
To keep his agencies with those companies current, he had taken out the policies for Cheney - a practice not unknown among insurance brokers - but insisted she knew about them, even if she didn't sign them herself. She had even listed the exact amount of the insurance premiums when she filled out loan applications later.
No matter. Keogh, a divorced father with significant child-support responsibilities to his three young daughters, stood to gain almost $1.2 million by cashing in the combined policies. Police now believed they had a motive - greed - and, when two women came forward separately to say they'd had affairs with Keogh while he was living with Cheney, his credibility was damaged further. (Keogh would later admit under oath that he had been involved with one of the women during a rocky period with Cheney, but always denied a relationship with the other.)
But the prosecution case against Keogh was still entirely circumstantial. Police were yet to find a weapon or concrete evidence of foul play resulting in the murder of Anna-Jane Cheney.
That changed when South Australia's chief forensic pathologist, Dr Colin Manock, arrived to conduct the autopsy on her body on Sunday, March 20, 1994.
When Keogh faced court on murder charges in August 1995 (an earlier trial having been abandoned after the jury could not agree on a verdict), Manock, with three decades of experience in forensic pathology and approximately 10,000 autopsies under his belt, was called by the prosecution as a key expert witness.
Manock told the court he was "at no time happy that the death was accidental because I could find no explanation as to why she would have drowned". He insisted there was no medical evidence to support defence suggestions that Cheney might have fallen asleep, fainted or slipped in the bath, having drunk four or more glasses of wine earlier in the evening, before sliding beneath the water unconscious.
Instead, Manock drew attention to four marks on the woman's left calf, which he said were consistent with bruising caused by someone gripping her lower leg shortly before death. The pattern, he said, reminded him of a famous English case in 1915, in which a man named George Joseph Smith had married three times, only to drown each of his new brides in the bath during their honeymoons. It became known as the "brides in the baths" trial, and clearly made an impression on Manock, who said Cheney's bruising suggested her killer had grabbed her by the legs and pulled them up sharply, forcing her head under water, just as Smith had done almost a century earlier.
Manock's theory and his identification of grip marks on Cheney's leg were crucial to the Crown case. Summing up, Director of Public Prosecutions Paul Rofe, QC, told the court: "If those four bruises on her lower left leg were inflicted at the same time, and that time was just before she died in the bath, there is no other explanation for them, other than a grip. If it was a grip, it must have been the grip of the accused. If it was the grip of the accused, it must have been part of the act of murder."
A little over five hours after retiring on August 23, 1995, the jury returned a unanimous guilty verdict. Henry Keogh was later sentenced to life in prison.
Manock retired soon afterwards and did not speak publicly about the Keogh case for almost 15 years. But in 2010, after agreeing to be interviewed on ABC radio, he spoke almost fondly and with some satisfaction of the time he had detected an antipodean version of the "brides in the baths".
"I read the copy of the transcripts from the George Joseph Smith case," Manock told Background Briefing host Hagar Cohen. "I was quite familiar with the circumstances. And when I saw the circumstances of Anna-Jane's death, it was like seeing a friend across the street. I'd seen it all before."
"I've long ago given up on expecting fairness or justice in this state, or life for that matter. My conscience is clear and those that either know me or count also know. And that, believe it or not, includes many [prison] staff!" - Henry Keogh, letter from prison, December 2009.
Reading the transcript of the Keogh trial in the late 1990s provoked no fond feelings in law professor Bob Moles. With an academic background in jurisprudence (the theory of law), Moles had little initial interest in messy criminal cases.
But then a solicitor, charged with supervising a group of law students working on a research project, asked Moles to have a look at the Henry Keogh case, suggesting it might provide suitable material for another group to research. Stunned by the amount of material the solicitor's assistant delivered to him, Moles eventually sat down to review it.
"As soon as I read the transcript, I knew there was something wrong," Moles recalls. "There was so much that didn't add up. The pathologist's evidence just didn't make sense ... and some of the mistakes were so obvious, you didn't have to be a QC or an eminent judge to spot them.
"I can't say why the defence counsel didn't do a better job than was done. What I can say is that it wasn't a very good job and that most of the evidence that was led against Keogh at his trial was technically inadmissible."
One of the first problems Moles identified was the tendering in court of black-and-white autopsy photographs. Those featuring Cheney's legs were handed to Manock, who was then asked to circle darkened areas that he believed were bruises with a red pen, before being passed over to the jury.
"How leading of a jury is that?" asks Moles. "How prejudicial? They should have been handed an unmarked photograph and asked whether they could see any bruising at all."
That issue would become the tip of a highly contentious iceberg. Moles eventually quit his job at the University of Adelaide to pursue what he believed to be more than a dozen cases involving flawed or discredited forensic evidence, all of which implicated the work of Dr Manock.
In 2004, Moles and the team supporting Keogh lodged a complaint with the Medical Board of South Australia, claiming Manock's autopsy of Cheney had been incompetent, and his work on the case amounted to unprofessional conduct. The board investigated and conducted a second inquiry before referring the case to the Medical Professional Conduct Tribunal.
In the course of those investigations, it was revealed - and admitted by Manock - that the only tissue sample he had taken from the suspected thumb bruise had come back negative after microscopic analysis. In other words, there was no forensic proof of a thumb bruise - the key mark supporting the grip theory - at all.
Manock also told the board it had always been his opinion that the marks on Cheney's legs had been caused by a left hand - despite testifying during the Keogh trial that the marks indicated someone had grabbed her leg with their right hand, while pushing her head under water with their left.
Ultimately, the tribunal found Manock had conducted a "less than perfect" autopsy but "those deficiencies were trivial or harmless [and] holding a mistaken opinion does not amount to unprofessional conduct". By then, Henry Keogh had been held in maximum security for more than a decade.
An even more stunning volte-face by Manock was to follow in 2011, when he conceded in a 60 Minutes interview that the bruises on Cheney's legs could have been three or even four days old. Under oath in the Keogh trial, he had testified the bruises would have been caused shortly before death, and certainly no more than four hours prior to that time.
Given that evidence of a recent grip on Cheney's leg was presented as fundamental to the prosecution case - DPP Paul Rofe told the jury it was "the one positive indication of murder" - Moles contends the grounds for Keogh's conviction to be set aside are now overwhelming.
Other elements of the case have also been undermined. At the Medical Tribunal, Manock conceded a person could suffer a loss of consciousness (by falling in the bath, for example) without sustaining any damage to the brain that would be perceptible during autopsy. "The opinion which Dr Manock formerly held and gave to the jury was wrong," the tribunal concluded baldly.
Recreating the scene from police photographs taken on the night, the Keogh team has also thrown into doubt whether the depth of water in the bath was enough to deliberately drown a struggling person.
But at the very heart of their doubts is a far more disturbing question, with implications so far-reaching they might explain why South Australian authorities from across the political spectrum have so far resisted calls for a broad inquiry into the Keogh case.
"Nobody wants to think the unthinkable, which is, 'Maybe Colin Manock isn't an expert,' " Moles says, raising implications for the hundreds of court cases to which Manock is believed to have contributed evidence. "If he isn't an expert, his evidence is inadmissible. I would argue that, quite clearly, he wasn't and isn't."
Certainly, Colin Manock was no forensic expert when he was appointed in 1968 as South Australia's chief forensic pathologist. At the time, he had no formal qualifications as a pathologist. His employers at the Institute of Medical and Veterinary Science, the state government department responsible for providing forensic pathology services, would later acknowledge they were desperate to fill the role at the time, but knew that they had appointed "a man who had no specialist qualifications in a specialist's job, and without [further study] this would have been a severe embarrassment".
Ultimately, Manock was exempted from the five years' study and written exams normally required to join the Royal College of Pathologists of Australasia; he was made a Fellow of the College in 1971 after taking a short oral exam.
But was that enough? Moles cites a number of troubled investigations since then, including that of Emily Perry, convicted in 1981 of attempting to murder her husband using arsenic poisoning. Perry's conviction was overturned by the High Court, which castigated the evidence presented as "reveal[ing] an appalling departure from acceptable standards of forensic science" and "not fit to be taken into consideration".
But perhaps the most heart-rending example of Manock's flawed evidence was in the so-called "Baby Deaths" cases, involving three infants who had died in separate incidents in 1992 and 1993, which eventually sparked a coronial inquiry in 1994. Baby Joshua Nottle had suffered 15 fractured ribs, extensive bruising and a broken spine by the time he died at nine months, while Storm Deane had two possible skull fractures and four broken ribs. William Barnard had a broken arm that had been left untreated for up to four weeks and extensive, festering nappy rash.
Yet Manock had concluded the cause of death in each case to be bronchopneumonia - a basic inflammatory disease. In his report, Coroner Wayne Chivell noted that some of Manock's explanations under oath had been "spurious", "incorrect" or otherwise unacceptable. Reviewing the Joshua Nottle case, Chivell concluded: "Dr Manock's investigation, and his subsequent report, provided innocent explanations for the most serious injuries found on Joshua's body, explanations I am now satisfied were incorrect. In those circumstances, and in common with the other two cases, the post-mortem examination basically achieved the opposite of its proper purpose in that it closed off lines of investigation rather than opening them up."
But then he put his report to one side. Aware that Manock was scheduled to appear as an expert witness in another high-profile case, Chivell apparently didn't want to risk derailing that trial by besmirching his credibility so publicly. So the coroner waited instead until August 25, 1995, to publish his findings - two days after Henry Keogh had been found guilty of murder.
Manock could not be contacted for an interview for this story.
"I was often mystified as to what a woman like Anna saw in me given my baggage. I was, and remain, mystified why a woman like Sue remained so supportive, even loyal, given the countless hurts I inflicted (though not maliciously or intentionally, only through stupidity and selfishness) on her and my daughters. It took me the best part of my first decade in here to forgive myself ... It always strikes me as a terrible and unnecessary waste and leaves me with a profound sadness that can last for days." - Henry Keogh, letter from prison, January 2009.
Sitting in the tranquility of her studio, Alexis Keogh reflects on how unnatural it can feel to laugh and love and live a productive life when your father has been behind bars since you were at primary school. "Getting married was the hardest," she says. "Not having him there to walk me down the aisle. Before that, I always felt I didn't want to grow up because I didn't want Dad to miss out on things ... I made the state basketball team for a couple of years and I always worried about telling him. It was one more thing he would not be able to see me do."
Sometimes she reminds herself instead of all the qualities she loves about him. How she inherited her talent and appreciation of art from him; his passion for books; how he has even read the Bible cover to cover and quotes it adeptly in key moments. And his gentleness; how once she made him cry when she was eight or nine years old, because she was so angry at him for leaving her mother for Cheney, and how after that she vowed never to hurt him again.
Alexis's older sister Elise marvels, too, at her father's stoicism, his refusal to show fear lest his daughters grieve further. "One day as we were leaving after a really hard visit, we looked back and he mooned us," the nurse and mother of three giggles. "He would use humour like that to lighten the moment because he never wanted us to be burdened. He is so stoic and has such integrity ... but I could see the fear in his eyes."
Both girls fret about how the media rushed to portray Keogh as a cold, calculating killer, when they knew him as too gentle to scold his children and too intelligent to have ever tried to claim five forged insurance policies in a relatively small city such as Adelaide, let alone ham-fistedly plan a murder where he was the last person to see the victim alive and the first to find her dead.
In court, Sue Keogh testified that her former husband regularly signed her name on paperwork when they were married, so the fact that he had done it on Cheney's insurance policies hardly surprised her. Since then, she has largely shunned the spotlight.
Today, however, she enters her daughter's art space unexpectedly, with a self-contained dignity that has sustained her since the police arrested Henry Keogh in the most humiliating and public way imaginable: as he watched from the sidelines of his daughters' weekend basketball tournament. "I've known Henry since I was 16," says Sue. "We grew up together and he's made mistakes in his life because he's human. But I just knew he couldn't possibly have done that and I have never doubted it ...
"If I had thought for one moment he had done anything criminal, I wouldn't have taken the girls regularly to see him or encouraged them to speak to him on the phone. I didn't want them thinking or believing their father was a murderer, so I just made sure we always saw him."
Now Alexis wonders why the enduring loyalty of this woman, who would surely be forgiven for turning her back on the husband who had betrayed her, counts for so little, while forensic evidence that has been so discredited is allowed to continue to stand.
"The system feels so corrupt to me," says Alexis. "The 'reasonable doubt' in Dad's case is so plain to see, but there is no way within the bounds of the law that we can make that become obvious to everyone else and then make them do anything. There has been no law there to have a retrial when new evidence comes to light. But there is now, thank goodness."
Generally, a person convicted of a crime in Australia has the right to only one appeal. Once that process has been exhausted (as it has in Keogh's case), should new evidence emerge, the only option is to petition the state's governor - and effectively the attorney-general - requesting them to revisit the case. And in today's political climate, few elected officials are keen to champion the cause of high-profile convicted criminals.
But last year, after a sustained campaign by Bob Moles and his wife, law lecturer Bibi Sangha, South Australia passed legislation handing the ability to grant a further appeal back to the courts. The first case to be heard under the new law is Henry Keogh's, with a hearing scheduled this week.
"Over the years, people have said to me, 'Oh, you just have to move on with your life and get over it', " Alexis says. "But what does that even mean? It hasn't ended. He's my dad. I can't just let it go and say, 'Sorry, Dad, I'm moving on.' It's just not in me."
"Fear not though, I'm not that despondent - surprisingly (even to me!) ... I said a little prayer of thanks for all the good things and people I still have in my life. The rational part of me knows that there's a lot to be thankful for, so why let another half-expected setback knock me on my arse. At least there's still hope, which is more than many millions in this life currently have. I just have to do my best to keep that to the forefront of my mind." - Henry Keogh, letter from prison, Boxing Day 2009.

Taking Stock of Madison's Past, Present and Future
I moved to Madison in January 1974, forty years ago this month. Paul Soglin was mayor for the first time. I turned twenty-three that July.
With the exception of an ill-conceived four months in De Pere in the fall of 1969, I had spent my entire life living in Milwaukee, a city for which I still have a deeply-conflicted affection. Milwaukee was a great city in the '50s and '60s and my love for cities is rooted in that place at that time. But by 1974, I was ready for a change.
For the previous four years, I had worked at the Milwaukee Psychiatric Hospital as a "psychiatric aide," a life-changing experience that would for years substitute for a college education in my life. I needed something new.
From the time I was old enough to dream, Madison was simply a place I would inhabit over my mother's dead body. Mom is still with us and grew to appreciate, and I think share, my love for this wonderful city. But I'm sure she had her doubts forty years ago as my hair grew still longer, I chose tending bar over a return to
college, and I bought a motorcycle.
I lived at 1148 ½ Jenifer Street in the upper half of a two-flat with two of my closest friends and a friend of theirs. That year the Willy Street Co-op opened at 1014 Williamson Street, the first of its three locations on Willy. We frequented the Wisconsin Inn, which was also the official clubhouse of the city's lone motorcycle gang, the C.C. Riders. We all got along. State Street was a conventional, four-lane, undivided road. David Bowie played the Coliseum.
Jenifer Street was the first of approximately twelve places I have lived in Madison. The place on Orchard Street across from the old Union South is gone. The place Nancy lived, above Paul's Club on State Street, when she and I took a shine to each other in 1976 is still there. Paul's Club moved. At the time, I was working at La Creperie restaurant, on the second floor of a building on the corner of Gilman and State. The year before I was working on Halloween, and from the window I watched about three dozen or so kids start a small bonfire in the street. Maybe half of them wore costumes. A few cops stood by, chatting with the kids. The next year there were a few hundred kids. Today it's Freakfest. I've lived on Johnson Street, Monroe Street, Jenifer Street (again), State Street (again), Hancock Street, Gorham Street, Gregory Street and a few others. I drove a Badger Cab for two days. The football team was actually pretty good in '74. The basketball team wasn't, and after one more year coach John Powless left to focus on tennis. That turned out pretty well.
Does this sound nostalgic? I don't feel nostalgic. I feel lucky. I've thought about living in a lot of different places. I've never wanted to live anywhere else. I'm glad I experienced the Madison of the 1970s, as well as the Madison I eventually covered, interviewed, explored, investigated and wrote about in the '80s, '90s, and '00s through today. But more and more, I realize how excited I am about tomorrow.
I don't want to return to the Madison I moved to. I don't even want to stay in the same Madison in which I find myself at this moment. The Madison I have chosen to stay in is the Madison we are becoming. And I believe those of us who have chosen to stay in Madison for whatever reason have a responsibility to aid in that becoming, to make our experiences available to the twenty-three-year-old today who in 2054 will remember where he or she lived and what the city looked like. And who the mayor was. And who was helping create the Madison in which they felt welcomed, respected, appreciated and cared for.

Imager::Color::Float - Rough floating point sample color handling
$color = Imager::Color->new($red, $green, $blue);

($red, $green, $blue, $alpha) = $color->rgba();
@hsv = $color->hsv(); # not implemented but proposed
This module handles creating color objects used by Imager. The idea is that in the future this module will be able to handle color space calculations as well.
A floating point Imager color consists of up to four components, each in the range 0.0 to 1.0. Unfortunately the meaning of the components can change depending on the type of image you're dealing with:
for 3 or 4 channel images the color components are red, green, blue, alpha.
for 1 or 2 channel images the color components are gray, alpha, with the other two components ignored.
An alpha value of zero is fully transparent, an alpha value of 1.0 is fully opaque.
- new
This creates a color object to pass to functions that need a color argument.
- set
This changes an already defined color. Note that this does not affect any places where the color has been used previously.
- rgba()
This returns the red, green, blue and alpha channels of the color the object contains.
- info
Calling info merely dumps the relevant color to the log.

4BETTER OR WORSE- The week in review
Biggest changing of the guard: Former head football coach Al Groh had barely left the building when UVA athletic director Craig Littlepage announces Groh's successor December 7– University of Richmond head coach Mike London.
Biggest interchange: City Council approves 3-2 the design for the $33.5 million terminus of the Meadowcreek Parkway at McIntire Road and U.S. 250 Bypass.
Biggest bummer: Despite the millions, it'll be a conventional "diamond" with stoplights instead of the roundabout alternative.
Biggest priority? City manager Gary O'Connell, 57, says he's not including an increase to Charlottesville's 95-cent-per-$100 real estate tax rate, that employees may not get raises, and that funding the retirement system for city employees is his top priority for the fiscal year 2011 budget, according to Brian Wheeler at Charlottesville Tomorrow.
Biggest housing cost: To redevelop Charlottesville's public housing and increase it from 373 to 558 units, the price tag is $115.5 million, which works out to about $207K per unit. Rachana Dixit has the story in the Daily Progress.
Most passé urban development plan? Mixed use, once the darling of local planners, is ditched in the latest plan for the Coran Capshaw-owned coal tower project along the CSX railroad tracks that used to include office, retail, and restaurants and now is strictly residential with 302 units, Dixit reports.
Worst alleged infanticide: A 17-year-old in Staunton is accused of suffocating her two-month-old baby, according to police there, who began an investigation November 15. The teen is charged with first-degree murder.
Worst news for Albemarle teachers: No raises for the second year in a row, thanks to a projected $10 million deficit for the next fiscal year.
Feistiest competition: Baby formula maker PBM in Gordonsville takes on Enfamil manufacturer Mead Johnson in federal court and wins a court order December 1 that the name-brand maker stop advertisements that contain inaccuracies about the generic formula, Tasha Kates reports in the Progress. That follows a federal jury in November that awarded PBM $13.5 million because of Mead Johnson advertising.
Angriest: Supervisor Sally Thomas calls Chairman David Slutzky "irresponsible" for not being willing to drastically raise zoning fees to developers, according to Brandon Shulleeta in the Progress. Both Thomas and Slutzky will be off the Board of Supes in January.
Priciest ride: Albemarle supes okay fees for ambulance service at the Hollymead, Monticello, and Scottsville rescue squads that will run between $350 and $550. Charlottesville Albemarle Rescue Squad and Western Albemarle Rescue Squad demur from charging fees right now, fearing that will affect donations to the volunteer organizations.
Latest first frost ever: December 6 at McCormick Observatory, which has been tracking such events for over 100 years, according to Jerry Stenger, director of UVA's climatology office.
Most banned books: The 25-page long "Disapproved Publications List" maintained by the Virginia Department of Corrections censors from inmates publications such as Prison Legal News magazine, Reader's Digest, and the Daily Progress, reports Kates at the DP.
Hottest book title: Sex and the Professors is the nonfiction book that Ann Lane, recently retired UVA head of women's studies, is working on, and in it, she reaffirms her longtime proscription against student/prof hanky panky.
Best black-market-for-fat debunker: Human fat is so easily obtained–- from liposuction clinics, presumably–- that there's no reason for a black market, says UVA plastic surgeon Adam Katz, disputing claims from Peruvian police that a gang called the pishtacos killed portly passersby and hung their bodies over votive candles to drain the fat– another part of the story derided by experts. Peruvians now believe the ghoulish tale was a police concoction to distract attention from news that security forces were operating death squads that targeted drug dealers.

Lebanon I-44 Speedway Gets New Promoter
Lebanon, MO
Lebanon I-44 Speedway lost veteran promoter Craig Armstrong in June, but it didn't miss a beat when it announced that veteran Ozarks motorsports executive Kevin Grevin had signed on to serve as promoter. Lebanon I-44 Speedway opened in 1983 on historic Route 66 and is currently the only operating asphalt oval racetrack in Missouri. "It's an honor to fill my new role with Lebanon I-44 Speedway," Greven said. "Lebanon and Bolivar are the tracks that got me interested in motorsports years ago, and I feel like I have come full circle to be back home and grow the things at Lebanon that the Willard family, Craig and the team at I-44 have in place." Greven's background includes eight years as the Motorsports Manager with O-Reilly Auto Parts as well as stints as promoter of the old Bolivar (MO) Speedway and Lucas Oil Speedway in Wheatland, Missouri. Additional information about the track and its race schedule can be found at www.i44speedway.net.
Shasta Speedway Joins ASA Member Track Program
Anderson, CA
ASA Racing recently announced that Shasta Speedway has joined the fold as an ASA Member Track. The 3/8-mile asphalt facility is also racing under new management for the 2012 season. A three-person team recently received the management rights from Shasta District Fairgrounds and the 27th District Agricultural Association to operate the track located on the fairgrounds. The new management team is made up of Adam Nelson, George Wade, and Seth Sands. "Our major goal is to get the track a consistent car count for the local divisions," says Nelson. "We need race cars on the track to put on a show. "
To help expedite an influx in drivers, the group feels it has to take some risks to make competing on a Saturday night more affordable. A big cut in pit pass pricing was the first change planned. Front gate pricing at Shasta Speedway was already at an industry low, so step two was to change the age of the admission for kids to free for those 12 and under. Racers competing at Shasta Speedway will be able to compete for the ASA Member Track Championship beginning with this year. The winner of the title will receive a major prize unlike any other in the industry, but we can't tell you exactly what it is just yetstay tuned.
Angola Motor Speedway Sold
East Fremont, IN
Angola Motor Speedway is a 3/8-mile, high-banked asphalt track in Indiana. It has just undergone a nearly complete renovation, and now it has been sold to Kurt Henry of Hoosier Metal Recycling. The track was sold after it suffered from several rainouts in 2011 and closed for the start of the 2012 season. We don't know much more about when the track will reopen the gates, as former promoter Craig Everage says he won't be returning and the speedway has yet to name a replacement. As part of its schedule before the closing, Angola hosted the CRA Super Series and had a big Outlaw Super Late Model event every year. Here's hoping they return as well.
CV Products Supplying Racers with New Crane Ignition Boxes
Thomasville, NC
This year, seven major Southern tracks entered into a new agreement to mandate the 6000-6701 ignition system from Crane Cams to be used in their Pro and Super Late Model classes. And CV Products is working to make sure that every race team that needs the new ignition can get one. The racetracks making the change are Gresham Motorsports Park, Five Flags Speedway, Mobile International Speedway, Montgomery Motor Speedway, New Smyrna Speedway, South Alabama Speedway, and Orlando Speedworld. The new Crane system will include the ignition box with an adjustable rev limiter, coil, and a mounting plate. The plan should save racers money because no dual ignition systems will be permitted and neither will any alterations to the systems be allowed. The Thomasville-based company has made its reputation as a supplier of race parts for everyone from the NASCAR Cup teams to Mini Stockers. Jim Zoretich, the President of CV Products, says the company has placed two large orders for the ignitions from Crane Cams and is prepared to keep a large supply on hand along with all the necessary accessories racers will need to get up and running with the new ignition.
Pit Stop USA Becomes Series Sponsor for Sprint Racing at Petaluma Speedway
Petaluma, CA
Petaluma Speedway has welcomed Pit Stop USA as a major partner at the 3/8-mile dirt track. Pit Stop USA will be the series sponsor for both the Winged 360 Sprint Car Series and the Wingless Spec Sprint Series. The Pit Stop USA Sprint Car Series will compete a total of 25 times at the California facility. "We are very pleased to make this announcement and to have established a relationship with Ed Coughenour and his professional staff at pitstopusa.com. Ed and I have strategized over the last two months about how to best showcase Petaluma Speedway as well as how to best incorporate Pit Stop USA's partnership with the racetrack. We both feel that we have a successful road map established for the 2012 racing season and beyond," stated Petaluma Speedway General Manager Rick Faeth. "We are very excited about our sponsorship of both sprint car divisions at Petaluma Speedway," commented Coughenour, President of Pit Stop USA. "We plan to work very closely with Rick Faeth and the Petaluma Speedway team towards the goal of making the Pit Stop USA Sprint Car Series and Petaluma Speedway the premier racetrack for Sprint Car racers throughout the Northern California region."
Now this is a High School for Gearheads
La Puente, CA
Reading, Writing, Arithmetic--oh, and Shop Class. Those are the hallmarks for most of us from our high school days. But this high school has a shop class that will put practically everyone else's to shame. Nogales High School in La Puente, California, has recently updated its equipment to include two dynamometers. There's one Superflow chassis dyno and one Superflow engine dyno. Teacher Mike McCarthy says that the purpose of the dynos is to help students work with cars in a state with the most restrictive smog requirements anywhere. But a short video we watched showed a NASA-legal Mustang on the chassis dyno, so it's a safe bet that the students are learning a little about creating horsepower, too. Currently, Nogales is the only school in California with such equipment. Half the money for the two dynos came from a state bond passed by voters five years ago (Ed. note: What took so long?) and the other half from the school district. It's good to see some schools are still encouraging their students to learn a craft along with their academic education.

Anti-pollution campaign launched in Herat City
Anti-pollution campaign launched in Herat City
HERAT CITY (Pajhwok): A week-long campaign against growing air pollution got under way in the capital of western Herat province on Thursday.
The campaign had been jointly organised by the Environment and Traffic Departments in coordination with an NGO called NasleNaween Afghanistan.
During the week, Environment Department head Nasir Ahmad Fazli told Pajhwok Afghan News,residents and drivers would be educated on harmful effects of pollution.
People will be informed about the climate change, diseases caused by air pollution, the importance of cleanliness and different ways of preventing pollution.
"This center has created filters for public bathhouses with the assistance of the municipalityto stop smoke from spreading," he said. Smoke-emitting vehicles and public bathhousesare the main reason behind the air pollution in the city.
Old cars should be fixed or stopped from plying roads, he suggested, warning offenderswould be fined 1000 afghanis by the Traffic and Environment Department at the end of the week.
Traffic police head Aminullah Maihanyar pledged stopping old and damaged cars from plying city to check pollution.
"There are more than 300,000 vehicles in this city. Some of them are partly damaged and cause air pollution. We want the drivers to repair their cars," he added.
Eng. Wakil Ahmad Barak, an environmental expert, feared air pollution in Herat might increase further, if not controlled.

The 100 Moments of TSU Athletics presented by Taco Bell® series continues by remembering one of the most prolific passers in Tennessee State history.
Joe Adams arrived on the TSU campus in 1977, and left as one of the school's most celebrated quarterbacks.
Looking at the Tennessee State record book is like looking at Adams's rap sheet. Adams left TSU as the school's all-time leader in passing yards, passes attempted, passes completed, touchdown passes, 250 and 300-yard passing games.
Joe Adams was so proficient at passing and possessed such a strong arm that he earned the nickname "747", in reference to the Boeing aircraft.
When Adams attended the school, he was named an All-American by several publications four times and he helped lead the Tigers to the 1979 Black College National Championship.
On Oct. 18 1980, Adams had the finest day throwing the ball that any TSU quarterback had ever had. In a 35-17 win over Alabama State, Adams threw for 417 yards- a school record that stood for three seasons.
During his 1980 campaign, Adams had a school-record four consecutive 300-yard games en route to throwing for a then school-record 2,848 yards. Also during 1980, Adams broke his own record of touchdown passes in a season with 30.
"747" led the team in offense during all four of his seasons while gaining more yards every year he played.
Adams's gaudy numbers got the attention of the NFL's San Francisco 49'ers who selected the TSU quarterback in the 12th round of the 1981 draft.
San Francisco didn't have a place for Adams due to Joe Montana entering his prime, so Adams elected to play football in Canada.
Adams joined the Saskatchewan Roughriders of the CFL in 1982 and had a great first season. He threw for over 3,300 yards, had 19 touchdowns and started all 16 games.
The 100 Moments of TSU Athletics presented by Taco Bell® highlights some of the greatest moments in honor of Tennessee State's centennial celebration. A new moment will be released each weekday for a total of 100. These moments were chosen by the TSU 100 Moments committee, which consists of alums from various departments. TSU has so many great moments, not all can be represented in these 100.

We discuss the thermodynamic properties of the model
exchange quantum spin ice material Yb_2Ti_2O_7. Using exchange parameters
recently determined from high-field neutron scattering measurements, we
calculate the thermodynamic properties of this model system. We find very good
agreement with the heat capacity, entropy and magnetization measurements on the
materials. We show that, in the weak quantum regime, quantum fluctuations lead
to the selection, within the spin-ice manifold, of a conventional ordered
ground state. However, the excitations above the ground state and their
dynamics remain highly non-trivial. They consist of weakly bound
spinon-antispinon pairs separated by long strings.
We present several pieces of indirect evidence that the
low temperature phase transition observed in these materials is to this
conventional ordered state.
